Business Outlook

Pros

nice location in soma free coffee projects get high visibility

Cons

Management is complacent and unmotivated to change or improve upon their current work. "We've always done it this way" is commonly thrown around during meetings so people don't have to do extra work. It feels like working for a bunch of dinosaurs and you have to get through a bunch of red tape just to attempt to get anything done.

Paramount Response

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the office location, free work-perks and scope of work while employed with us. We are disappointed to hear that you feel that management is complacent and we will share your feedback with our Learning & Development team to better assist with how managers can become for innovative in the workplace.

Business Outlook

Pros

great benefits/perks: vacation, health insurance, employee discounts, 401K, social events

Cons

No room for upward mobility as people tend to stay in their positions for YEARS. If there is growth, it's based on favorites, not merit, skillset, or accomplishments. Constant layoffs several times a year. They will outsource new talent before promoting internally. Senior-level management can be hostile.
